Our June meeting will be in person outdoors at my home in Westfield, MA. I have a large shady backyard. Please bring your own chair. The driveway and back walkway are paved, the lawn is sort of flat in the area we'll be using. If the weather is inclement, we'll be inside the house. There are stairs up to the deck that would need to be climbed- one flight. The house is sort of like a raised ranch in the back, but all one level inside. The meeting will run from 2PM-3:30PM-ish. I'll have bottled water available.
My home address is on the members only facebook page. Email me if you are a Wordsmith and want to attend but do not know my address in Westfield. Email me at whipcitywordsmiths@gmail.com My driveway can accommodate maybe 7 cars. There is plenty of on street parking in front.
We will talk about the recent WhipCity Wordsmiths Authors on the Green Book Show, our first loosening of pandemic restrictions outdoors event that was held May 23rd. Bring your ideas for a fall event and I will present them to Artworks of Westfield who co-hosted the book show. Maybe we can do something similar in the fall.
Also, bring something you're currently working on and we'll do brief readings, discuss new books recently released, new projects, and get back to the topic of motivation.
Hope to see you at the meeting. Masks are a personal choice- I'm the only person living in my home but I do work in a medical office, where I d wear a mask still, although my exposure to patients is low as I am a business office person, although my work station is in the open where patients pass by. I am also immune compromised due to medication I'm on and an auto-immune system disease. As far as masks go, wear one if you are not comfortable being around others without it. Hopefully it'll be a nice day and we'll be outside. Also, if we need to be indoors, I have two cats, so if you're allergic to cats it could be a problem for you.
Any questions-email me at the email address already provided in this post!
